I’m about a 9 minute miler (maybe slower) if running a 10K, and a runner who does something in the 8:15 range for 5Ks. So if you’re faster than me, sorry, but maybe these would work for your long runs! Below I’m categorizing music that works for me, for various types of runs and workouts. I’m also happy to add suggestions by others (and already have done so below, as you can see.) Please continue to let me know what keeps you going!

Track/Speed Workouts:

3, by Britney Spears

Evacuate the Dance Floor, by Cascadia

Tik Tok by Ke$ha

Opticon, by Orgy (also good for races!)

Playing with the Boys, by Kenny Loggins (made famous by the Top Gun movie)

Right Here with You, by Olivia Newton-John (suggested by Sarah, who mentioned it helped her run the Chicago Marathon)

anything by Phoenix, Jamie McCullum, or Ray LaMontagne (suggested by my friend Corey, who likes them to drown out the sound of cars, and help him even when his legs are heavy and lungs aren’t feeling so great)
